Another common desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. It involves a solvent passing through a semi-permeable membrane; meaning this particular membrane only allows some molecules to penetrate or pass through. The solvent will then go into a solution with higher concentration of molecules.
In February, Yorktown introduced the Electric Green Tetra, a genetically modified black tetra fish. Like its zebra fish cousin, the GM tetra is a small freshwater fish that includes genetic material from a fluorescent coral that makes it neon-bright. Under a black light, it glows in the dark.ince Yorktown Technologies first sold its genetically modified pet â the GloFish â in 2003, the fluorescent fish, an altered variety of zebra fish, has become a popular aquarium item, with millions sold in various neon hues.
Other terms associated with this newly discovered technology are genetic engineering, genetically modified crops, or even genetically modified food. Some examples of gmo in crops are cotton, rice, soya and maize. In farm animals, examples of gmo are salmon, pigs, cattle and chicken, all of which have been genetically modified to improve milk quality or resistance to particular diseases. As good as improvements in the gmos seem to be, however, there are disadvantages to introducing gmos into the daily diet of humans.
